Congrats on your weight lost and low bp. I had my surgery yesterday and my bp was 140/87. They thought it was good and considered surgery anxiety.

HI, Mine is high as well. I'm worried that the doctor will not band me if it is high the day of my surgery 12/3. Does anyone know how high it has too be before surgery is denied? Mine is around 141/85 right now.

Hi Electrawoman, Looks like we are in the same area. I live in The Colony. We need to get together and workout sometimes. Good to see someone local on here!

Hi BeeSwank, I'm getting banded on 12/3 and finishing up my 3rd day of liquids. The first day was the worst but it's getting easier everyday. The good news is that I lost 8 lbs the first 2 days. Can't wait to see what the scale says in the morning.

Hello everyone...My name is Andrea. My big day is December 3rd. I am so nervous and excited at the same time. I'm even excited about starting my pre-op diet on 11/23 (crazy!). I'm sure that will change the first day of only liquids. I'm so glad I found this site! It's great to see that there's an online support like this to help keep me motivated!!
